I co-introduced historic legislation to increase the minimum wage to $25.
As someone who taught economics at Stanford, here is why it makes sense.
The real minimum wage was $14 in 1968.
Today it is half, but productivity has increased 2.5x.
Instead of extractive capitalism, we need a free enterprise system that pays workers what they are worth.

@ShiZ7_ @CubbyPedro At this point no… PCA’s been much better and adjustments have been made
It was more so just a talking point

🚨🚨🚨🚨 LONG Pete Crow Armstrong THREAD
I know it's easier said than done, but I just really wish PCA would become more of a guy focused on hitting singles when he's at the plate and walking.
PCA isn't being paid to be a slugger, he's getting paid to be the best defensive center fielder and steal a ton of bases. PCA's slashline last year was .247/.287/.481.

@Davey_Baseball Him, Jamo, and Shota coming off the books this year = 53.5M to spend on Skubal and a chad innings eater.

@brendan_cubs Is Baller + Seiya a better duo than Seiya + Tucker? People are saying it.

Ballesteros is showing more home run pop at the big league level.
Last year in AAA, he hit 13 homers in 509 plate appearances — a 15 homer per 600 PA pace.
This year, in just 67 plate appearances, he's hit 5 homers — a 45 homer per 600 PA pace.
22 years old, growing, maturing.

@scoomdroll @profswitzer @RepBrandonGill Frankly, I dont care how you want to define personhood. Killing a fetus is still murder at ANY point along gestation.
English
I think a lot of this comes down to how we define personhood. While a fetus is biologically human, there are different views on when that biological life becomes a 'person' with a right to life that outweighs bodily autonomy. Since we see that differently, I think we're just looking at the same situation through two different lenses.

Today I asked an abortion advocate what her favorite method of abortion is.
English
@scoomdroll @profswitzer @RepBrandonGill If you truly thought a person should have the right to control what happens to their body you would advocate for fetuses to not be murdered, dismembered, and sucked out of a womb via a vacuum tube.
English
@profswitzer @ShiZ7_ @RepBrandonGill Medical science evolves based on evidence and outcomes, not on moral predictions. Regardless of how you feel about future medical trends, that doesn't change the present reality: a person should have the right to control what happens to their own body.
English
@Manhattva Just a brutal teardown. I wouldn't be surprised if that woman had never heard abortion described in those terms before.

@ShiZ7_ @profswitzer @RepBrandonGill You're arguing against the entire medical community. The WHO and the AMA both categorize abortion as essential healthcare because it is a medical intervention used to treat health risks and manage reproductive health.
English

@profswitzer @RepBrandonGill No one said it was awesome. I'm talking about a legal right to healthcare, not celebrating a medical procedure.

@negen_x @SenFettermanPA @JimJustice_WV @SenCapito @SenatorBennet We need a slur for people on SNAP. Snapfags or something.
English
@SenFettermanPA @JimJustice_WV @SenCapito @SenatorBennet Snap families should not be comfortable. If they are comfortable they will never work and improve their lives. Frankly I think it should be illegal for them to even buy anything but gruel.

Feed our busy and hardworking families with real food.
Costco’s hot rotisserie — $4.99.
We introduced a bipartisan bill to make our SNAP families’ lives a little more affordable + convenient in America. 🇺🇸

@UtahDemocrats You allowed Somalians to hijack your democratic processes and now we are at risk of sending someone who represents a couple thousand people to Congress instead of someone who represents all of Salt Lake. Do better Democrats.

The comments of this thread encouraging Republican leaders to investigate whether or not delegates are American citizens and legally eligible to cast a vote based on nothing more than the color of their skin or the religious garments they wear is unacceptable, to say the least.
Do better Utah.

Word on the street is Liban Mohammed recruited 100 or so Somalis to camp out in the line to become alternate delegates when Democrat delegates didn't show up. He literally flooded the place with Somalis to influence the election.

@disagreebutter Not hard to find 100 Somalis without jobs who can hang out for hours at a time.

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

This video confirms 2 things:
1. It’s clear Harry has quit abusing stimulants. He talks slower, more eloquently, and most importantly is fat now.
2. Women engaging in political theatre will always be obnoxious and they will almost always get mogged by a man.
The argument doesn’t matter. Fatty Harry completely mogged the shrill, high pitched, daily wire broad.
Terrible look.

No. I support gerrymandering when my side does it, and I oppose it when Democrats do it because Democrats are my enemy and I want them to lose everywhere. The Democratic Party masquerades as a legitimate political party while functioning as an illegitimate tool for foreigners, criminals, and their managerial handlers to sack and pillage this country at the expense of the American people. The appropriate number of Democratic seats at all levels of government is zero. The party itself should be banned, and at least half of its elected officials should be in prison.
